New York Mets won against the Washington Nationals 5-1, triumphing their 2nd<\/sup> straight a little less than 1 day after trading closer David Robertson to Miami for 2 rookie-ball prospects \u2013 in a trade deadline selloff. The MLB franchise from the Big Apple started the campaign with a record 343 million dollar payroll and began Friday 7 matches out of a wild-card place.<\/p>\n

“Frustrated – I mean, obviously, we are the ones to blame for that; we haven’t competed well enough as an organization,” shared Max Scherzer, who allowed 6 hits and struck out 7 in 7 solid innings but has an ERA of 4.01, which would be his highest in the last decade. “I\u2019m also to blame for why we’re in the position that we’re at. I can only point the finger at me, but it\u2019s sad.”<\/p>\n

Max, who has a player option worth more than 43 million dollars for the next campaign, shared that he expected to talk with the team\u2019s owner \u00a0Steve Cohen and the franchise\u2019s front office before the trade deadline.<\/p>\n

\u201cProbably got to have a conversation with the front office. You traded our closer away. A bunch of people are going to have to have conversations with the front office.\u201d<\/p>\n
